November thankfulness: three

[winterbadger]

I didn't post this last night because I was hanging out with my friends john_arundel and gr_c17. And that's one thing I'm very thankful for--my friends.

I live on the inside of me, not the outside, so I'm not the best judge of these things, but it's my impression that I vary between being very easy to get along with and being very difficult to get along with. Different people may have varying impressions about which of those predominates. :-)

I don't find it terrifically hard to make friends, but I don't run across that many people with whom I would *like* to be friends. And I know that sometimes I can be a terrific ass--bloviating, ranting, cranky, moody, annoying, or just plain thoughtless. So while I often wish I had the (seemingly) typical American "posse" of a dozen or so friends who are always doing things together, I realise that I'd have to be a very different person for that to be the case. So I'm very grateful for the people I have in my life whom I'm fond of and who choose to stick with me, even when I'm not the best person I can be.

Bleh. A "posse" might be typical of extroverts, but not everybody is an extrovert. I've never had more than one, maybe two, "best" friends at one time in my whole life. And I'm okay with that. I also don't like crowds, but I attribute that to schizoid tendencies, not introversion. :-)
